Credit unions rip you off. Their interest rates are higher, they charge annual fees, and they demand that you pay insurance on all your loans. On a good note, they are more personable and friendly, they pay you dividends because when you open an account you buy shares in the bank. They were best noted for direct deposit in the old days but now all banks do it. Back then it was easier to hide money from your wife. lol

banks are HOLLYWOOD..glamorous, flashy, mostly wants to cater ONLY for people with loads of cash (re-investing blah blah) and with a lot of suits...

Credit unions are GHETTO, ..caters to everyone, plaid chairs, coffee table, not too many suits, rips you off with their interest rates and trying to be just LIKE HOLLYWOOD...rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
